Red Clay Jazz Society

Red Clay Jazz Society is the brain child of guitarist Chip Gulbro.  While cruising down the highway listening to Benny Goodman’s sextet with Charlie Christian from the late 1930’s, a flash of inspiration told him to start his own swing band.  He quickly began transcribing and arranging the original Goodman/Christian sextet charts, including, Flying Home, Rose Room, I've Found a New Baby and many other tunes from the era. Tunes like "East of the Sun" and "They Can’t Take Away From Me", have proven the test of time and are just two of dozens of other similar songs in the bands repertoire.  

Members of the band are Chip Gulbro-guitar, Ian Bevel-sax, Jeff Carroll-trumpet and trombone, Dean Gardner-upright bass, Larry Janzen-drums, and vocalist Lexi Jackson.
